I don't get how anyone can think curing the genophage is a good decision.
It's a purely emotional choice because, logically, it makes no sense. The genophage is only an issue for the Krogan because of their own culture and way of life. They're a species that is inherently aggressive, highly dangerous, and unwilling to change to ensure their survival. If they refuse to adapt, then as a species, they've brought this fate upon themselves.
Even Wrex, in the first game, acknowledges that the genophage isn't what truly destroyed the Krogan. He points out the same thing I do: his people care more about war than about building a stable society.
And that's without even mentioning their insane reproductive rate—giving birth in batches of hundreds—and their incredibly long lifespans. If just one Krogan has 1,000 babies, then those have 1,000 babies, and so on, their population would explode past a billion in no time.
If the genophage were cured, there would only be two possible outcomes: either mass starvation wipes out most of them, or they set out to conquer the galaxy. Even with Wrex leading them, his authority would always be challenged, and sooner or later, it would all spiral out of control.
Some might call me extreme, but a galaxy without Krogans wouldn't necessarily be worse off. And the same goes for the Batarians.

This is how Aussies talk about kangaroos.
